1982 Honda CX500 Turbo Runs After 25 Years

1982 Honda CX500 Turbo Runs After 25 Years #motorcyclerewind #CX500turbo #vintagemotorcycles
In this video, we breathe new life into a classic 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo that hasn’t roared in 25 years. Our main focus was on the fuel system: we installed a new fuel pump and meticulously cleaned the fuel injectors. After all the hard work, the old bike finally started up, filling the garage with the satisfying roar of its engine and those iconic turbo noises. Join us on Motorcycle Rewind as we take you through the journey of reviving this vintage marvel and getting it back on the road.

That bike sounds awesome.. Honda motorcycles are awesome.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sounds so good. Especially when you put it into context that it’s been parked in the corner of a shop for 25 years.

[@nickq204]

Nothing like hearing a project come to life for the first time! You didn’t even say anything corny like I do when I try to start a project for the first time.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I am gonna need some examples of the corny things you say!!!! I may want to add them to corny things to say tool box. 🤣😂🤣

[@nickq204]

“Rise from your grave!” Said to CBR600 I bought from a salvage auction. “It’s moving! It’s moving! It’s alive!”Said to a 2000 Fireblade cobbled together from junkyard parts. Yes, the bike’s name is Frank. “It’s going to run, or it’s going to break.” Don’t use that one. That line is cursed.

[@evdallas123]

I love those I always wanted one you just can't beat an old Honda I've been riding em for 50 years I won't have anything else

[@motorcyclerewind]

They are so awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@gonegliding2966]

That's pretty. One of my all time favorite bikes!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Such a very cool motorcycle. Thanks so much for watching.

[@sjv6598]

It’s alive! You’ll be riding that bike soon! Super happy for you Eric 😊

[@motorcyclerewind]

I certainly am looking forward to that day. Not going to rush it. Want to make sure it’s properly sorted first. Thanks for watching.

[@richardhopkinson1927]

I was grinning like an idiot when it fired up and idled. Can't wait to see it on the road! I've had a series of CX500s in my JZR tricycle, it's a magnificent engine. Never been lucky enough to find a turbo.

[@motorcyclerewind]

So was I… Thanks for watching.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Awesome!!!

[@motorcyclerewind]

It sounds so good. Getting closer to throwing a leg over. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelmccann4706]

Turbo Eric😁👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

Oh yeah! This motorcycle is awesome. Sounds so good!!! Thanks for watching

[@mabarbe9545]

Hello, news from Belgian CJ 360! I've used my expert card and called an expert. It was.... oil led! So everything looks ok for rebuilding and more pieces are coming soon. It will take months for riding but first start is for soon. Happy to share that with you, regards.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks so much for the update. Can’t wait to see it all together. Send pics to [e-mail]. Thanks for watching.

[@josephnovella3589]

I am so excited for you!!! I have a 1988 Yamaha FZR750RU that I have had for a few years now... I need to pull it out and start my project on her

[@motorcyclerewind]

Send me pics of yours to [e-mail]. Would love to see it. Thanks for watching.

[@harrothepilot]

Great stuff Eric, can nearly feel your enthusiasm all the way down here in VIC, Aus. Looking forward to the first ride on this one. A mate had one of these, and from what I can recall, it was pretty sprightly when on boost, but fairly staid when off. Love the bike purely for the rarity of it, and a reminder of the ‘turbo’ era.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks so much. Keri(wife) tells me I am easily excitable. 🤣😂🤣 I rode a CX650 Turbo last year. Your assessment of was fair. Tame & fun didn’t feel unwieldy. Really appreciate you watching.

[@S2NAZ]

Love your videos, but the lead in of the bike running 👎🏻 I’d rather not know til the end and watch you go through the process. 🤷 good work though 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sorry about the spoiler. Thanks for watching.

[@nigelcox7477]

Great work Eric, especially the Turbo badge on the pipe! This will be a beautiful result. 👍😎❤️✅

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks so much. This bike is responding to all the attention you give it. Thanks so much for watching.

[@dionhurdle1984]

Great work Eric. It’s hard to believe these bikes came out in my last year of high school. At that time turbo cars and bikes were the latest hot thing. The big four Japanese companies all made at least one model but the turbo bike craze died almost as quickly as it began.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks so much for watching. Can’t wait to ride it.

[@alexdieudonne1924]

Vinegar and fish tank gravel for the tank for a good swill out or rust specs will block the injectors.

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s a good idea. You’re right about specs clogging the injectors. Thanks for watching.

[@ACECafeBikes]

You're so excited!!!!

[@motorcyclerewind]

I don’t think it came across how excited I was. I saw this thing sitting in the corner of my old friends shop for years. Could never talk him into working on it. There it say waiting for this moment. So awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@kalaharimine]

Fantastic! sounds good, hope the turbo bearings getting good oil and are healthy.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I hope so. Thanks for watching.

[@Turleyswheels]

you seem a little excited ha ha and so you should be that start up was music to my ears fantastic love you and your channel ❤ well done my friend can’t wait when the ride is ready ❤ congratulations mate 👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

This was so exciting. Thanks so much for watching.

[@NoremacOktik]

Ok - lemme guess.... Did you ever work for a bike shop?

[@motorcyclerewind]

No!!! Was it that evident. Those guys know what’s up. I am not an expert. My super power is, I am willing to give it a go! Thanks for watching.

[@MarcoBrandsen]

Verry nice to hear it run beautiful bike, from all the bikes i have owned the Honda was the nice one

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching.

[@JoshA86]

Thing sounds great! Nicely done.

[@motorcyclerewind]

So good. Slow and steady is gonna win this race. Want to heat cycle it a few times then change the oil. Thanks for watching.

[@RealBesty]

I love a CX note anyway but it sounds extra sweet with that turbo whine! 👌

[@motorcyclerewind]

Hearing the Turbo noises was so great. Thanks for watching.

[@andersaxelsson2196]

Awsome video of that cx turbo you doing today

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@upchuckchops]

Exciting to see it run.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sure was exciting. Thanks for watching.

[@kickingitwithkeri]

Yay!!! That’s so exciting 🎉

[@motorcyclerewind]

Worth staying up till the middle of the night. Thanks for watching and thanks for being awesome.

[@rock-n-roll4865]

white vinegar cleans tanks and it's cheap.

[@motorcyclerewind]

You’re right. When I was rummaging through my cabinets went with what I had the most of. After all it was after midnight. Continually testing the limits of my neighbors patience. 🤣😂🤣 thanks for watching.

[@cerealtiller]

Will it Start?......it's a Honda...

[@motorcyclerewind]

Yes it is and yes it will!!!! Thanks for watching

[@shaunhardie6077]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, its alive 😎

[@motorcyclerewind]

There is something about a first start that never gets old. Thanks for watching.

[@djantix1200]

Awesome bike! Congrats getting her purring!

[@motorcyclerewind]

It is so cool and sounds so good. Thanks for watching.

[@djantix1200]

@@motorcyclerewind Heck yeah! Stoked for ya!

[@plan-bmotos]

Nice job man! It sounds healty! 🙌

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sounds so good. Can’t wait to ride this one. Thanks for watching.

[@plan-bmotos]

@@motorcyclerewind I can feel you! 😄

[@abcsd1254]

It sounds so good. Even if the turbo produces limited power the cool sounds make it worth it.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Who cares if it makes it faster. It sounds cooler. 🤣😂🤣thanks for watching.

[@akaRandakk]

19.3 psi boost is not trivial. I own one and it's definitely not a slug.

[@abcsd1254]

@@akaRandakk that’s sweet that it does provide power but even if it didn’t it’s so cool anyway. That makes it even better.

[@ThatOldHonda]

There she goes, sounds great, really like this bike - Old Honda's rule :)

[@motorcyclerewind]

So awesome! Sounds so good. Have to love fuel injection! Thanks for watching.

[@ThatOldHonda]

@@motorcyclerewind I was just sat thinking Thursday, isn't there a new Boys episode....wait, it's Turbo Thursday, didn't disappoint, first start achieved, congrats on a new viable patient :) I don't get how you do it, I struggle with 5 bikes, I love 80's Honda's so this one is a sweetheart, feel another big ride coming :)

[@RobertAdams-wd6pt]

I use oil eater I get it at Eastwood automotive restorations

[@motorcyclerewind]

To clean tanks? If so, I will get me some. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks for watching.

[@RobertAdams-wd6pt]

@@motorcyclerewind I use it in my ultrasonic cleaner

[@mikeplummer8904]

Like a kit -- ten

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s right. Again me testing my neighbors patience, it was 1:30am when I started it. At least it had full exhaust and wasn’t a two-stroke. 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for watching.

[@grahamwright9897]

I want one !

[@motorcyclerewind]

If you find one get it!!!! Cant wait to ride it. Thanks for watching.

[@Rollie961]

yes yes 👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

This was so awesome. Thanks for watching.

[@motohomeless9168]

Awesome!!!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sounds so good. That’s for watching.

[@michaelmccann4706]

9:32 and "let's do again", and then " We're making Turbo Noises", thats What's it's all about, sounds silky. This should be played as a template to all wives to explain what we are about Eric. 👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂🤣😂 it’s hard to explain to anyone. Thanks for watching.
